Green, Green Grass Of Home Lyrics - Singles - Tom Jones

The old home town 

looks the same 

As I step down 

from the train 

And there to meet me 

is my mama and papa 

Down the road I look 

and there runs Mary 

Hair of gold 

and lips like cherries 

It's good to touch 

the green, green grass of home 

Yes, they've all come to meet me

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Arm reachin' smiling sweetly 

It's good to touch 

the green, green grass of home. 

The old house 

is still standing 

Though the paint 

is cracked and dry 

And there's that old oak tree 

that I used to play on. 

Down the lane I'll walk 

with my sweet Mary 

Hair of gold 

and lips like cherries 

It's good to touch 

the green, green grass of home. 

Then I awake 

and look around me 

At four gray walls 

that surround me 

And I realize 

yes, I was only dreamin' 

There's a guard 

and there's a sad old padre 

Arm and arm 

we'll walk at daybreak 

Again I'll touch 

the green, green grass of home 

Yes, they'll all 

come to see me 

In the shade 

of that old oak tree 

As they lay me beneath 

the green, green grass of home.
